Thanks again! The photo on p. 514 of your Handbook of the Hitler-Jugund illustrates the cap and tunic I am refering to.
I have the copy of the Military Advisor you refer to and will find the article. I had an NPEA student dagger marked to PGW, see Wittmann's chapter on the NPEA daggers in LTC Johnson's book series. I have a nice graduation -marked Spandau one now.
One more question: I still have the piped SA lagermuetze illustrated on p. 584 (lower) of your joint book on Headgear of Hitler's Germany, vol. 3. I have heard of only one other vet acquired example of the same cap. Do you think the piping of lagermuetzen was restricted to this Gruppe; maybe to a unit within the Gruppe? I appreciate very much your input. I have narrowed my collection down to early SA, SS, NPEA and Ordensburgen items. Been collecting since mid-60s.
